I admit, I stopped reading the comm: which is how I only learnt a few days ago that the frumious Cumberbatch is meant to be Smaug in The Hobbit. Either the reading w/ Martin Freeman went off a storm to absolutely no one's surprise, or Peter Jackson has reached the "acutely hilarious stunt casting" stage of proceedings. I keep trying to picture this, and it keeps throwing me into Temeraire-verse. Finally, a sensible reason for Mycroft to meet John in a hangar!
This one is for the Dunnett fans: you know who is supposedly descended from the Lords of Buccleuch? Nick Carraway out of The Great Gatsby. I have no theories. Then again, so was Sir Walter Scott... for that matter, the Lords of Buccleuch are no-jokes going strong TO THIS ACTUAL DAY. Not only is Buccleuch a Duchy, it's a real estate holding company.
